A better world

I believe that everybody should want to be a superhero. In fact, I believe that everybody should be a superhero. Moreover, I believe that everybody must be a superhero in order to build a better world.

But what are the superpowers of a real superhero?It’s not about, having the muscles of the incredible Hulk, or the speed of the flash, or the weapons of batman, or the X-ray vision of superman.

Being a real superhero Is about having the power of seeing the others as ourselves. It’s about having fun, lots of fun but with responsibility. It’s about studying hard not because your teachers or your parents ask you to do it, but for the pleasure of learning. It’s not about succeed all the time, but it’s about not having fear of trying. And if you failed, it’s about not being afraid of starting over and over again how many times it’s necessary. It’s about showing your finger to the people who insist on saying that you are not gonna do it, that it’s impossible, that you should give up on your dreams.

Come on show these people your fingers!

I say that because of you and me. Because we are the creators of the future!And I believe that we have the power of transforming the world into a better world. Because We need a better worldWe need a world of music not noiseWe need a world of rhyme not crimeWe need a world of union not apartheidWe need a world of agreement, accord, assent, concord, consensus, harmony, solidarity, singleness, wholeness, oneness

We need a better worldI bet You wouldn’t mind about the traffic, Once you know there is a brother Not an enemy in the car besides yoursWe don’t need wealth, opulenceWe just need dignity

We need a better worldWe need a world of education not ignoranceWe need a type of world that you can walk in the streets with no worriesIt doesn’t matter the time

We need a colorful world, Although, in our world Color and race must never be taken into considerationWith regard to rights, friendship, compassion Sympathy and respect.

We don’t need the world of Hitler, Mussolini, Pinochet, Bush, Sadam Hussein and all those motherfuckersBut We do need the world of Da Vince, Madre Teresa, Gandhi, Mandela, Biko, Martin Luther King, Betinho,Chico Mendes, Dalai Lama, John Lennon, Jesus.
